oxide Deluxe Tek leather Motorcycle Panniers Saddle Bags Cruiser Travel Bags WS-1000

Great saddlebags, very roomy and easy to use. The zip on & off system works well. The only thing that you need to be aware of is that the heat resistant base is only heat resistant to factory fitted exhaust pipes and not after market pipes as they will scorch the bottom of the bags and the contents unless a heat guard is fitted to the pipes.

The better half bought me these to go onto my XVS1100 and, whilst they aren't fitted yet, the bags themselves are well made, sturdy and for the price she paid, she aint grumbling! Well the ones I was looking at were looking at were three times the price but I'm well happy with these....The downside???Once I have these on my bike I have no excuse not to go to the supermarket; our lasses plan all along!! :(

I purchased these bags in January this year and used them for the first time at the end of June when I rode to Normandy on a Harley Owners Group trip. They were a bit fiddly to attach but looked okay. By the time I got to the Ferry terminal at Newhaven (a trip of 45 miles) two of the four eyelets used to tie the bags to the bike had broken off. When attaching the bags for the return trip, one of the YKK zips was frayed at the bottom where it attaches to the under seat 'central bridge' and was difficult to attach. An hour later the whole zip had given up the ghost. Thank goodness for bungee straps. I contacted the seller (a guy called Amir who was very helpful when the delivery was messed up initially) and explained the situation. He asked for some pictures of the damage which I sent and then he stopped returning my texts, calls and emails. Poor show Amir! I've now purchased some soft panniers and my Wife took the bags to the local dump. Sadly these bag's natural habitat. Seriously boys and girls, don't buy these. If I could have given them no stars I would have

Just arrived … Bags look nice enough until you up close. The lock on both bag is not straight and takes a certain way to click them closed . Thin cheap metal used I recon shelf life of about 6 months for the lock, plus the they have put a ring right under the lock where you have to turn a dial to lock or unlock your bags a good eye sight is needed , should be fun in the rain. Also there is fraying already on the straps see pic .. The Oxide logo on one of the bags is not straight again poor work and attention to detail .. I shall put this right at some point as I remove the logo on the bags as I am not sponsored by this company or do I get paid for there advertising . Overall nice looking bags, good room inside the bags , bit more due care and attention could be applied in the process of making these bags. £114.00 does not sound a lot but its enough, if I get 18 months out of these bags I will be luck. My opinion ( AVOID )

Great saddlebags. Fit well on my Dragstar Classic. I had some iron horse saddlebags 2x27L and these ones are similar in size and capacity. I am considering buying again for my wife's Shadow.

Good quality plenty of space but the web is a bit too long for my Hinckley Bonnie should be ok on a fatter bike though (if oxide did a slim bike option it would be five stars) will try to get it sorted as it is too good to return for such a minor hitch

So far so good, they look good value for money, they can be opened in the normal fashion by undoing the straps, they are also fitted with quick release buckles to save time and they come with a small lock. In my opinion it wouldn't stop anyone getting in but could put off the casual walk past opportunist thief, you can also remove both bags from the bike by lifting up the flaps (which are not obvious) and unzipping them so you can use them as normal hand luggage. For the price they have some nice features, I've also sprayed mine with a good waterproofing product, I'd still use some good dry bags as these types of saddlebags are renowned for letting in water whether the manufacturer says they won't or not. My bike is an xvs1100 just to give you some scale to the size of the bags.

Not fitted yet but look exceptionally well made! Maybe better to secure together with cable ties rather than cord provided though
